Saufley Landfill Ordered Abandoned!

March 10th, 2008 by Todd Hageman

As part of a team of environmental lawyers, I represent Florida residents who live near the Saufley Landfill in litigation against the landfill owners. 

On March 4, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection issued an Order of Abandonment against Saufley’s owner, Louisiana Investment Group (LIG). The FDEP concluded that:

“LIG has failed to obtain the required permits to operate or close the facility, and has failed to close the facility in accordance with Department rules.  The Department has determined that there is no likelihood that LIG will take the necessary actions to obtain the required permits, to close the facility, or to perform long-term care of the facility.  The Department has therefore concluded that LIG has abandoned the facility as regards any attempts to comply with the Department’s closure requirements.”

What this means is that the dump will not be allowed to take in any more debris, and the FDEP will facilitate making sure the dump is properly closed, with as minimal effect to the residents in the future as possible.
